But our story wasn't quite enough for one reader who wanted even more from the action saying: "Just as well the Bath Chronicle didn't get that headline wrong, imagine if "Bath couple caught having sex in car with police"..

Other comments include: Why not!!! If it spices yer sex life up do it!!!! We were all young once!!!!

"A little bit of alfresco never hurt no one lol !!!" and "Good for them it's 2017, sex is nothing that should be hidden or something to be ashamed of. Especially if it's in their own property."

But according to the police therein lies the problem.

Although the practice of having sex outdoors is not explicitly banned by one particular law, there are a multitude of offences anyone one caught doing the dirty in public could be charged with.
